How to get parts of text separated by tag?

Question

JavaScript

There is an html like this:

<td><br>
    Name <_br_><br>
    Lastname <_br_><br>
    Address<br>
</td><br>

How can I get 3 variables containing Name, Lastname and Address using jQuery?
I'm trying to parse a page in php and use phpQuery for this, which repeats the functionality of jQuery.

Answer 1

api.jquery.com/contents/
Get the children of each element in the set of matched elements, including text and comment nodes.

Answer 2

Do not force the brain, use explode()

Answer 3

Better yet, preg_split("#<br[^>]*>#s",...)

Answer 4

<p><a href="">link</a>text</p>
Who knows how to get text?
Nothing better than this
pq('p')->find(a)->remove();
echo pq('p')->text();
